Russia is becoming the new version of what the entire UN should be, I respect them for preventing further atrocities against innocent people........

Shame on the West for armong these thugs who will then go on to become either become a corrupt bunch of wankers or bite the hand of those that have been feeding them.

I think mother russia has had enough and are activley doing something, perhaps they should enter and police as a neutral observer.

Russia is not the downtrodden nation everone wanted them to be during the previous presidential reigns, and has returned to superpower status just as before thanks to the Putin - Medvedev combination of leadership and balls.

Maybe time for the US to back down. The game's a bogey here, this card's been played too recently for it to work again.

I can see Russia taking up permanent residence in Syria and making it a satellite state ,especially with the patriots on Turkeys border. Everybody saying something has to be done to stop the killing, here's your answer. Russia are at least accountable, sure it might be rough for the first while (heehee, jihadists thought Abu Ghraib was bad ) but if true a Russian presence will stop the random killing and may even prevent the genocide of all who aren't sunni muslim.

I don't think so,he's up there with the others laying low,vying with those who you've traded your life to to bless your soul,
